Rodent Control in San Antonio
San Antonio Rodent Management Professionals
San Antonio is full of diverse neighborhoods, scenic green spaces, and… rodents. While the city is more often associated with pests like scorpions or mosquitoes, rats and mice are just as big of a concern—especially when cooler weather or heavy rains send them indoors. Whether you're in Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, or out by Helotes, no one’s immune to rodent activity.

Rodents aren’t just a nuisance—they’re destructive, dirty, and fast to multiply. That’s why we focus on eliminating active infestations and sealing off future entry points.

Common Rodents in San Antonio
San Antonio’s mix of older buildings, expanding development, and warm weather makes it easy for rodents to thrive. From downtown to the hill country, we frequently see:
- Roof rats - These climbers are often found in areas with heavy foliage and fruit trees. They can enter through rooflines, vents, and eaves, seeking shelter in attics or upper levels of homes.
- Norway rats - Also known as sewer rats, Norway rats prefer ground-level living. They burrow in gardens and can enter through cracks in the foundation or gaps in utility pipes. Known for their size, they often cause considerable damage to stored items and buildings.
- House mice - House mice are small but destructive. Found in both rural and urban San Antonio neighborhoods, they are notorious for contaminating food and spreading diseases. Their ability to reproduce quickly means even a few mice can lead to a major problem.
These pests chew wires, contaminate food, tear insulation, and leave droppings behind. Left unchecked, they’ll build nests and multiply quickly—especially indoors where it’s warm, quiet, and safe.

Rodent Control Built for San Antonio Homes and Businesses
We don’t rely on old-school traps and hope for the best. Instead, we use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach—meaning we focus on both immediate elimination and long-term prevention. That includes identifying how rodents got in, removing attractants, and making strategic repairs to keep them out for good.
Our rodent control services typically include:
- Thorough inspections to identify nesting zones, food sources, and entry points
- Baiting and trapping based on species and location
- Removal of nests and sanitation recommendations
- Entry point sealing and exclusion work (mesh, caulking, steel wool, and more)
- Ongoing monitoring for homes and commercial properties
- Follow-up visits for peace of mind
Every home or building is different—so our approach adapts to yours. Whether you need one-time service or ongoing rodent protection, we’ll help you get ahead of the problem.
